Never mind skull dude, fresh animated horror just dropped!

(No idea what they're calling that, since I do indeed have xscreensaver set to randomly cycle through whatever it's got. Mostly for nostalgia and giggles.)

GENTOO XSCREENSAVER DAEMON HOW TO

This trick allows xset to be run even without a user logged in. bashrc method is to directly use the xdm's authorization file. Use the XDM's Authorization FileĪn alternative to the. Otherwise, the next time you log in, your monitor should automatically switch off when you close the lid. Into a console now (as your normal user, not as root) to have it work immediately. You can also type: $ xhost +local:root > /dev/null This was based in part on (and should render unnecessary) some of the workaround scripts at the bottom of the page.Īlternatively, if you have a radeon graphics card you can simply emerge -update acpid radeontool and edit the /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh script like this (and nothing else needs to be configured): File: /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh Lm_lid.sh edited by daddio to (hopefully) work both for everyone including kdm/gdm users and startxers. To briefly explain, as this script is called when both a "lid closed" and "lid opened" event is raised, we must find out which state the monitor is now in (hence the need for the grep statement) and act appropriately. XAUTHORITY=$XAUTH /usr/bin/xset -display :0.0 dpms force $ACTION If grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state # if XAUTH is blank try another way to get it #get the -xauth variable so we can access the display Test -x /usr/sbin/laptop_mode & /usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto #laptop mode helps minimized hdd activity # lid button pressed/released event handler Using your favorite text editor, open /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh, it should look something like: File: /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh You will need to emerge the laptop-mode-tools package to get the actions file: If you have a laptop and find that since switching to Gentoo (or another Linux flavour) that the monitor no longer switches off automatically when you close the lid, it's quite simple to get this functionality back: FIXME: Unlike what was mentioned above, you will need the acpid package on either kernel as this program is used to detect acpi events. Automatically turning the monitor off when closing the lid If it works, just remove the OffTime option line from nf, go to XScreenSaver configuration, set power management from there, restart the XScreenSaver's daemon and finally restart X. Try running again the command after having killed XScreenSaver. Note: If your monitor turns off and back on immediately when running this command, then there may be a conflict with XScreenSaver. Then add the line Option "OffTime" "20" to the ServerLayout section of the file. Add the line Option "DPMS" to the Monitor section of the file.

GENTOO XSCREENSAVER DAEMON HOW TO

After some searching, I found out how to make Linux do this very easily.

GENTOO XSCREENSAVER DAEMON WINDOWS

I got a new LCD monitor for my Linux system, however I was concerned I would burn out the backlight because Linux would only blank the screen when the computer was not in use, rather than turn off the monitor completely like Windows did.

The option can be controlled in mpv's configuration file located in ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf: The screensaver is always re-enabled when the player is paused. It turns off the screensaver at startup and turns it on again on exit. However, some applications do not support D-Bus or use another interfaces.īy default mpv uses the X11 Screen Saver extension (XSS). It is started automatically with xscreensaver, so most applications should properly disable the screensaver without additional configuration. Starting from version 5.45, the xscreensaver-systemd utility implements the D-Bus ScreenSaver interface. Tips and tricks Disable during media playback You can try to call the SwitchToGreeter method using dbus-send, but it may not work properly.

Note: If you use this to switch to an already-logged-in user, you might have to enter the password twice (once for LightDM, and once for the XScreenSaver dialog of the user you logged in to). You may want to set XScreenSaver's fade out time to 0. $ xss-lock -ignore-sleep - xscreensaver-command -lock Use the -ignore-sleep option because the suspend/hibernate events are already handled by xscreensaver-systemd. However, it does not handle other systemd signals such as loginctl lock-session. See xscreensaver-systemd(6) for more information It is started automatically with xscreensaver, no further action required. XScreenSaver ships with a small utility named xscreensaver-systemd, which handles the PrepareForSleep signal from systemd using D-Bus and automatically locks the screen on suspend and hibernate. To immediately trigger xscreensaver, if it is running, and lock the screen, execute the following command: See xscreensaver(1) § INSTALLING XSCREENSAVER ON KDE for more information.įor other environments, see Autostarting. Then logout and login again, and XScreenSaver should work properly now. ~/.config/systemd/user//nf ĮxecStart=/usr/bin/ksmserver -no-lockscreen To disable it, you need to enable systemd startup for KDE and then edit the rvice user unit: In KDE Plasma, screen saver and locker features are handled by ksmserver, which conflicts with XScreenSaver.

Configure xscreensaver logoff

The one caveat is that your screensaver will apparently not kick in if your session is already at a login prompt, the screen will simply turn off. When you wake your system, you will find it locked and asking for your password. Then still under Brightness & Lock, set "Lock screen after:" to "Screen turns off".Īnd you're done! If your system is idle for the set amount of time, the screensaver will kick in, and in the background your session will also lock. Set "Turn screen off when inactive for x minutes" to the same value as you set xscreensavers "Blank after x minutes" setting (e.g. Ensure "Lock screen after" is UNCHECKED.įinally, go to System Settings / Brightness & Lock. Set the "Blank after x minutes" to your desired amount (e.g. You need to bring up the xscreensaver config app. Add a new entry to launch the xscreensaver daemon on startup as xscreensaver -no-splash. Xscreensaver needs to be launched at startup via "Startup Applications" (hit Super and type "Startup"). Ok I've resolved this issue now, and am posting the solution for anyone else that wants to do the same as I have. So I'm wondering if they're conflicting somehow? I would have thought that if xscreensaver was configured to not lock the screen, but have Ubuntu configured to lock the screen, then the 2 should work together. Under the GNOME heading it asks you to modify the same file as before, that also doesn't exist. I then found a slightly different version of the man page here: Modifications made to screen saver settings using this Object will not take. I've tried following the steps under the apps man page, however it requests me to modify /usr/share/applications/sktop which doesn't exist (I believe because gnome-screensaver-preferences is no longer shipped with gnome-screensaver, and is uninstalled in any case). Modifies screen saver settings for the local computer. I was actually wondering if this was due to the removal of gnome-screensaver. The options I've tried setting are ensuring that "Lock" is enabled, and setting "lock screen after" to 5 minutes. I've tried playing around with various configurations under System Settings / Brightness & Lock. In case you're wondering, yes I'm waiting until after short timeout where it would otherwise allow me to wake up the session without needing to type your password. If I wait 5 minutes, the screensaver starts up as expected, however when I move the mouse I find it returns me to an unlocked session. I've added an entry to the startup applications to run "xscreensaver -no-splash". I have Ubuntu 14.04 64bit installed on my laptop, and have removed gnome-screensaver using "sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver". You create/manage one or more text configuration files (system wide ones, and /.Xdefaults ), these are loaded into the X server by during the startup process, and applications can query the relevant settings. I know this is possible because I have this configuration working on a different machine, but I don't believe anything special was performed to make it happen. The X resource database is a kind of configuration abstraction (somewhat analogous to the MS-Windows registry ). I'd like xscreensaver to lock my session using the standard GNOME lockscreen, instead of using the horrible 1990's xscreensaver lockscreen prompt (sorry guys but it needs a facelift).

I hope this tutorial helpd you install and autostart XScreenSaver on Ubuntu 16.04/16.10 As always, if you found this post useful, subscribe to our free newsletter or follow us on Google+, Twitter or like our Facebook page. sudo apt-get install xscreensaver xscreensaver-data-extra xscreensaver-gl-extra. By running the following command I was able to add extra screen savers. On Windows, you can only install one screensaver at a time. I have recently installed xscreensaver on Ubuntu 18.04 and some of them were greyed out, or not installed. On macOS, all screensavers can be installed at once, but this may slow down the Screen Saver panel. The collection includes more than 200 different screensavers created by Jamie Zawinski, who has also been maintaining the collection.

It's only been a short while since I wrote daywall, a program that automagically chooses a wallpaper whose brightness is determined by the time of day it is. I've made one tweak to the default brightness values -- it was getting too bright before sunrise for me -- but that's something you can do with tweaking the script itself. I also added a switch to just run daywall, instead of re-checking the images and analyzing new ones on every run. But the big thing I'd overlooked is my screensaver. I use a photo slideshow screensaver. So the problem I'd been having with random wallpapers suddenly hit me in the face with my screensaver images as well. So I hacked together a solution for that as well: daywall_for_xscreensaver.sh. It was a little tougher than anticipated. Xscreensaver (and presumably its distro-specific forks as well) allow you to specify a directory of images to use for the screensaver. It'll check the filenames of all those images when it first starts. And then never check those filenames again. So in order to dynamically change the wallpapers while xscreensaver is running, we have to specify a directory (it's hardcoded in the script) and copy our files over into the same file names. The script not only calls daywall a number of times (9 by default ), but it also makes sure that it pulls nine distinct and separate files. You can find daywall and daywall_for_xscreensaver.sh at GitHub, GitLab, or my personal git repository.
